La audiencia preliminar en el procedimiento oral laboral

Trata sobre la aplicación del procedimiento oral en materia laboral en el Ecuador, a través de la audiencia preliminar, dirigida por el Juez de Trabajo, considerando la trascendencia que este sistema tiene en el derecho procesal, en función de la simplicidad, uniformidad, eficacia y agilidad, que permite fortalecer el estado social de derecho. En el capítulo primero establecemos aspectos históricos del proceso, aspectos doctrinarios del proceso civil y laboral, y las características e importancia de este último. En una segunda parte tratamos la audiencia preliminar de conciliación, contestación a la demanda y formulación de pruebas, como la primera expresión de la oralidad; determinamos sus objetivos, tendientes a establecer el objeto procesal y la solución, a remediar incidentes, a fijar pruebas; destacándose la conciliación, que persigue la finalización de las controversias, y fijamos también sus momentos procesales. Finalmente, revisamos la prueba, los diferentes medios, la práctica, la importancia de solicitarla oportunamente, la oficialidad, en función del interés social y de brindar plenos elementos de convicción al juzgador, tendiente a resolver con total seguridad la controversia. Se enfatiza que la audiencia preliminar pretende la solución de los conflictos laborales mediante un procedimiento rápido y eficaz, contando con una destreza forense apropiada, donde las partes alegan verbalmente, procurando efectivizar el derecho de los trabajadores, acorde a los principios del derecho social.

Principio dispositivo y prueba ordenada de oficio en el procedimiento laboral oral

En la Asamblea Nacional Constituyente de 1998, al expedirse la Constitución Política, en el Art. 194 se adoptó el sistema oral sobre la base de los principios procesales de presentación y contradicción de la prueba, dispositivo, concentración e inmediación y otros que de manera expresa constan en la Carta Fundamental, como el principio del sistema - medio constante en el Art. 192. Del modo como la doctrina conceptualiza al principio dispositivo por su naturaleza, limita al juez y tribunales el que éstos puedan disponer de oficio la práctica de pruebas, sin embargo de lo cual, en el Código del Trabajo se ha prescrito que el juez y los tribunales de última instancia puedan disponer ese tipo de pruebas, lo cual ha generado dudas y debates sobre aquello. A efecto de generar mayores niveles de seguridad jurídica y teniendo en cuenta el principio protector que tutela el derecho del trabajo, sería trascendente que al mismo nivel constitucional se contemple la facultad a jueces y tribunales de última instancia para que dispongan la práctica de pruebas de oficio cuando lo creyeren necesario, a fin de que la legislación ordinaria lo desarrolle con claridad y con ello se ponga fin a las dudas existentes y a un debate que está hasta hoy latente.
